Dr. Kamlesh Prasad Sinha, Dr. Purnima Bharati, Dr. Anjana

Abstract :

Neutrophilic lobular panniculitis is a very rare condition belonging to the group of neutrophilic dermatoses. NP appears as a subcutaneous nodular eruption. Histologically they are characterized by lobular neutrophilic infiltrate. NP must be differentiated from other types of panniculitis, and also from the subcutaneous septal involvement that may occur in some cases of Sweet‘s syndrome and from erythema nodosum. Here we intend to show the histological perspective in a case of neutrophilic lobular panniculitis along with its differentiation from other panniculitis.
